SOURCES OF ENERGY (RENOWABLE (Eolic energy (production (Wind energy is the…

- - - - Petroleum is composed of a mixture of organic materials, especially water insoluble hydrocarbons. It is produced inside the earth through a process of transformation of organic matter from sediments and that accumulate in geological traps that form naturally.
    - - The drilling and extraction process is usually simple. A kind of cannon is introduced and lowered and the casing is drilled just at the point where the bag has been detected. Typically, oil flows through the holes that have been made and can be extracted using a smaller diameter pipe. This pipe is called the production pipe.
  - - - Like oil, natural gas is a product of decomposed organic matter, typically from ancient marine microorganisms, deposited over the past 550 million years.
    - - Generally, a direct rotation drilling technique is used (that is, the perforated matter is moved to the surface through the inside of the piercing arm). The recent development of horizontal drilling techniques allows access to sites farther from the same extraction platform.
  - - - The most economical method for the extraction of coal mantles depends on their depth and quality, and on the geological and environmental factors. Coal mining processes are differentiated if they operate on the surface or underground.
    - - Organógena de color negro, muy rica en carbono y con cantidades variables de otros elementos, principalmente hidrógeno, azufre, oxígeno y nitrógeno, utilizada como combustible fósil.
  - - - Nuclear fussion: process by which several atomic nuclei of similar charge join together and form a heavier nucleus. Simultaneously, a huge amount of energy is released or absorbed, which allows matter to enter a plasma state.
      - Nuclear Fission: a heavy nucleus, when bombarded with neutrons, becomes unstable and decomposes into two nuclei, whose sizes are of the same order of magnitude, with great energy shedding and the emission of two or three neutrons.
    - - The fission of the uranium or plutonium nuclei occurs in the nuclear reactor. This emits a large amount of energy in the form of heat. The heat released raises the temperature of the water in the boiler to the boiling point. The water vapor thus formed is conducted to turbines that, as it passes, begin to turn. A generator transforms the kinetic energy of the turbines into electrical energy, which is then distributed for later consumption. In nuclear power plants, control of the reaction temperature is essential. A cooling system that lowers the water temperature is needed so that it can return to the boiler. The hot water that is removed has to be cooled before returning it to the aquatic environment, to avoid its alteration.
- - - - Wind energy is the energy that is obtained from the wind. It is a type of kinetic energy produced by the effect of air currents. This energy can be converted into electricity through an electric generator
    - - It is with a machine that transforms wind energy into mechanical energy by means of oblique blades attached to a common axis. The rotating shaft can be connected to various types of machinery, be it for grinding grain (mills), pumping water or generating electricity.
  - - - It is the one obtained from organic compounds by natural processes. The term biomass refers to solar energy, converted into organic matter by vegetation, which can be recovered by direct combustion or by transforming that matter into other fuels, such as alcohol, methanol or oil.
    - - Applying the different conversion processes, biomass can be transformed into different forms of energy: Heat and steam, Gaseous fuel, Biofuels, Electricity, Co-generation (heat and electricity
  - - - Directly transforms sunlight into electricity using a technology based on the photovoltaic effect.
    - - The photons of sunlight directly affect the photovoltaic cells of the plate, which gives way to the creation of a field of electricity between the layers that compose it and generating an electric current. So, the more intense the light received, the greater the electrical flow.
  - - - A technology based on kinetic energy is capable of generating electricity only with the help of water and air. A set of metal structures submerges and emerges from the water and allows activating a generator to obtain electrical energy. This simple movement generates enough to power large industrial plants with virtually unlimited energy
  - - - Solar thermal energy is nothing more than the generation of heat from solar energy, and it can be used either to cook our food, to heat domestic water or simply for the production of mechanical energy, and with it The electric
    - - Photovoltaic conversion is the process by which solar energy is directly transformed into electricity. ... Photovoltaic systems allow the transformation of sunlight into electrical energy, that is, the conversion of a particle with light energy (photon) into electromotive (voltaic) energy.
